Those are acuminatus (they are spikey )
The short fat tail is the girl and the long tailed is the boy. Boys also have a larger nose. Wished I had some of these again but I will not pay the current price.

Look like a 1.1 pair of Rhampholeon acuminatus to me. They look like they're in good condition too. I would recommend adding additional thin branches to the enclosure. Also, is that a 12x12x18 Exo Terra? If so, I would also consider upgrading to a larger model. I've found the 12x12x18 to be too small for more than a single adult pygmy chameleon and this is a larger species than most.

Thanks for the heads up the 12x12x18 is only temp tank. Iv got a friend building me some 15x18x20 custom tanks. That will fit 3 per level of my rack. So how big do these guys get the smaller one is the size of my breadies and the larger one isn't too much bigger? Iv got lots of bamboo sticks I can add for now.

Are you using a UVB source over them or not? I can't tell if I'm seeing one in the second post or not. I am STILL not sure what the consensus is on whether pygmies need it or not. I've read people have raised babies to adulthood without any.

Where are they crawling? In the green or on the bottom?

That's a tough one I haven't been keeping pygmies long enough to be sure. I am using UVB on some and not others and so far haven't noticed a difference.
